When I first heard this song, I was hugely affected. There have been some great songs that encourage girls to not be taken in by the world's view of "beauty". I am so thankful for that, especially when young men sing the songs. Thank you so much Jonny for this impactful song!

I have such a passion for girls to know they're beautiful exactly the way God made them. This video is from YouTube. Here are the lyrics of this wonderful song:

A More Beautiful You

Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine Says she wants to look that way But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake And she's always felt overweight

Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see That beauty is within your heart And you were made with such care your skin your body your hair Are perfect just the way you are There could never be a more beautiful you Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do So there could never be a more beautiful you Little girl twenty-one the things that you've already done Anything to get ahead And you say you've got a man but he's got another plan Only wants what you will do instead Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come You starve yourself to play the part But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true And he'll treat you like the jewel that you are Chorus So turn around you're not too far To back away be who you are To change your path go another way It's not too late you can be saved If you feel depressed with past regrets The shameful nights hope to forgets Can disappear they can all be washed away By the one who's strong can right your wrongs Can rid your fears dry all your tears And change the way you look at this big world He will take your dark distorted view And with his light he will show you truth And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl
